Our time in the Scottish Highlands has come to an end. One thing is for sure… we’ll be back! 🌲👣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Based in the heart of the #Cairngorms National Park for 3 months, staying with @anna.bannana.mtb.fit it’s been a beautiful thing to see the change of the seasons.

This Scottish adventure hasn’t just been about continuing to embrace #slowtravel it’s also been about enjoying mindful moments in nature.

With so much screen time (which is an inescapable part of being a #digitalnomad) we are always on the pursuit of “more sky time, less screen time” - Tony @thenaturallifestylist 🙏

So, what are the benefits of #slowtravel?
1. *You can become a local and create meaningful connections* Joining the local women’s running club I got to hang with locals of all ages, to hear their stories and connect with local folk. I made new friends and had a few great nights out in the local pub with our lovely local hosts.

2. *Slow travellers can have richer experiences* You can visit a forest, waterfall or loch 10 times over and no one time is ever the same. Taking the time to get to know a place and learn more about it, rather than just whizzing through.

3. *Slow travel is more eco-friendly and sustainable* The obvious one is that you can reduce your environmental impact. Not only this, you can contribute to the local economy. We did this through local farm shops, spending money with local guides, small boutique shops including the refill shop.

What have been the highlights in the past 3 months?
1. Visiting the wild @alladalewildernessreserve to visit the tree planting site I’ve helped support with the Climate hero project with @mossy.earth

2. Dwelling in our favourite spots in nature. Including Loch Kinord for its peaceful tranquility, and Burn o’Vat for its magic and mystery.

3. My folks coming up to visit this national treasure 🌲 The change I witnessed in them both during their time here was beautiful. Unplugging from the constant ping of notifications, slowing down, reconnecting with what matters most.

4. The mini #roadtrip we took with ‘Finlay’ to explore the famous lochness and waking up to a new view each morning 🥰

In episode 10 of #greenpages 📗 discover why 'carbon offsetting' is fraught with problems, what a genuine #ecohotel looks like and how tourism can be the perfect vehicle to restore ecosystems around the world.

Find out what this beautiful book inspired me to do next in this latest #bookreview series.

Thank you to @holly_tuppen for putting this beautiful book into the world 🌏

Featuring @misool.resort from Indonesia, this eco resort is a living example of how the right kind of travel can restore and protect our beautiful planet.

The Cairngorms are a national treasure and a key part of the solution to locking up carbon. 🌏
Home to 25% of all threatened and rare species in the UK and with the peatlands storing huge quantities of carbon. They store 25 times more carbon than all the vegetation of the UK! Protecting, restoring and #rewilding the highlands is so important.

I caught up with @treesforlifeuk this week to find out more about their rewilding projects here and i will be sharing this super interesting video with you soon. From carbon offsetting, to the overpopulation of deer, and learning about their crucial work with local communities I can’t wait to share this with you all. Watch this space… 👀

It’s amazing what we don’t know about mushroom

It’s amazing what we don’t know about mushrooms. From clearing Oil spills to the underground fungal network right beneath our feet.

After checking out the documentary on #netflix ‘Fantastic Fungi’ which I cannot recommend enough, my walk in the forest today totally changed. I was overwhelmed by what I saw, here’s just a few of the varieties I stumbled across.

Have you seen Fantastic Fungi on Netflix yet? 👀👂🏻

Did you know?
1) Fungi are in a kingdom of their own but are closer to animals than plants
2) A fungus has been found to breakdown plastic in weeks not years
3) Fungi have been a part of our planet for billions of years surviving natural catastrophes
4) Fungi play a key role in the cycle of nutrients in the environment
5) Fungi networks are the internet of the forest - mycelium can have trillions of end branches. This shares the same network design as the internet. #natureisamazing #mushrooms #fungi #natureisbeautiful

One of the most challenging yet rewarding hikes we

One of the most challenging yet rewarding hikes we’ve ever embarked on... Dinarte an amazing local guide from @madeiratrailtours showed us this Unesco #worldheritage site. The Laurel silva forest in these mountains is like nothing we had ever seen before.

Dinarte’s knowledge of the nature, the wildlife, and the trails was second to none. He even had some #ecotips along the way.

I’ll be putting together a short video of our hike, packed with interviews and facts about this ancient forest to share will you all 🥰

Did you know? These forests are vital not only to the nature but the islands economy and people. The forest is ‘water producing’ not to mention forests moderate local climate by keeping the environments cooler. A single tree can transpire hundreds of litres of water in a day. A cooling effect equivalent to 2 air conditioners. #treesarelife
